Whole Again

This book felt like the equivalent of chicken noodle soup. Basically, he applies the principles of mindfulness to healing from abusive relationships. It’s something that I’ve tried before and it never quite clicked, but using the concepts of a protective self and a core wound really sent the message home. I have such a different perspective on how to think about myself and my experiences, and this is the first book on the topic that left me feeling hopeful and excited about the emotional work ahead.

For what it’s worth, I don’t think this book is limited to being useful for only those who have been in a toxic relationship. It’s a great idea for anybody to examine their own thought patterns and it’s useful just for understanding the people around you better. 10000/10 stars!
